I can't wait till August comes around and the shroud of polite message board behavior on message board supporting a team that neither one of us play can be lifted.

There is hope for you.

SoS rankings from 2003-2010

SEC has 8 of the top 10 in overall SoS from that time period.

Arky #1, LSU #2

We would have been #1, but playing Arky every year drug us down a bit, and them playing LSU lifted them up a bit.

They didn't even mention the fact that two or three of those tough games were even played outside of the Southeast!

But but but but....the people in the stands weren't wearing jackets and it was sunny outside???
Clearly this list is shit.

LSU played 3 outside of the southeast
which is only 1 fewer than Ohio St. played outside the Midwest.

which is only 1 fewer than Ohio St. played outside the Midwest.

The schools involved:

OSU vs LSU OOC

07 Wash - 09 Was
04 NC St - 05 ASU
06 Texas - ______
08 USC - 03 Zona

with Trips to Miami, Cal, Va Tech, Oklahoma coming up for tOSU.

But LSU was one of the few southern schools willing to leave their region in that timespan. I still remember UF's trip to Glendale being their first departure in a decade.

to be fair, the Arizona St. game was originally scheduled for Baton Rouge, but Katrina changed it.

we have upcoming games @:
W. Virginia, Az St., and Oklahoma

we played UNC in Atlanta (still southeast so I didn't list it originally)
and are playing Oregon in Dallas this year (not southeast, but much closer to us than them).

 

[jwinslow]

Was the VT matchup just a home game, or was there a return trip somewhere?

we played there in '02 (one year before this list starts).
were supposed to play them here in '05, but it was postponed until '07 so they could play Southern Cal that year for a big TV payout.

 

[jwinslow]

Thanks. That trade went well for them

 

[Nutriaitch]

Thanks. That trade went well for them

Was wrong about the year.
Was '04 they were gonna come here.

So due to the change, both years they ended up playing the eventual National Champ*

Spurrier still refuses to name Tebow 1st team All-SEC in the preseason poll. :tongue2:

Which makes it rather circular, but nonetheless strong.

So when I point out that the SEC as a whole avoids leaving region, you get specific and act like my point is invalid?

How many games has Georgia played outside the SE in fifty years?

I get that LSU is the exception, but not leaving the SE is the general rule in the SEC.

That doesn't make their schedule easy. Just some perspective.
